Does statin affect performance of PSA screening?

02 Dec 2021 by

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening was associated with similar decrease in incidence of advanced prostate cancer (PCa) among statin users vs nonusers, but less detection of low-grade localized tumours in the former than the latter — indicating that statin does not compromise the benefits of PSA-based screening while also conferring the benefit of less overdiagnosis of low-risk tumours.
